The present age of Neha’s eldest brother is three times Neha’s present age. Six years back, Neha’s eldest brother’s age was seven times as old as Neha was at that time. What is the present age of Neha’s eldest brother? Correct Answer 27 years
GIVEN :
Present age of Neha’s eldest brother is three times Neha’s present age.
Six years back, Neha’s eldest brother’s age was seven times as old as Neha was at that time.
ASSUMPTION :
Suppose present age of Neha = x
Then, present age of Neha’s eldest brother’s age = 3x
Six years ago,
Neha’s eldest brother’s age = 7 × Neha’s age
CALCULATION :
⇒ 3x – 6 = 7 (x – 6)
⇒ 3x – 6 = 7x - 42
⇒ 3x – 7x = - 42 + 6
⇒ - 4x = -36
⇒ x = 9 years
Neha’s present age is 9 years
∴ Neha’s Eldest brother’s present age = 3x = 3 × 9 = 27 years
